With more than 400 researchers, technologists, and doctors, we work tirelessly to chart new frontiers in health promotion and disease prevention. Our expertise ranges from epidemiology to artificial intelligence, tackling the challenges of future healthcare with determination and passion.
The DARE Foundation focuses on digital prevention. DARE is at the forefront of the healthcare revolution through the power of digital technology. Our mission is to drive a paradigm shift in healthcare culture, moving from a model focused on illness and treatment to one that prioritises prevention and community-based medicine throughout every stage of a citizen’s life. Leveraging the latest digital innovations—such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, big data analytics, wearable devices, and digital twins—we aim to significantly enhance the speed, accuracy, and effectiveness of healthcare prevention. Our goal is to position Italy as a global leader in digital prevention. This involves creating a multidisciplinary knowledge community that develops and shares innovative solutions across technical, ethical-legal, and organisational domains. Through the DARE initiative, we are committed to integrating and optimising the use of digital technologies in the prediction, surveillance, early detection, and response to health-related conditions, thereby improving public health outcomes for all citizens.
